GB/USD WEEKLY CHART
We have a resistance at 1.2600 that the bulls need to overcome that will open the way to 1.2660. There are prospects of a strong move up from there which makes the midpoint of the 1.26s potentially stubborn resistance.
GBP/USD H4 chart
The 4-hour time frame is compelling. A break of trendline support will be key and the 1.2570s are key in this regard. A break of the 1.2550s opens the risk of a deeper move lower for the days ahead. Nonfarm Payrolls will be a critical event on Friday and next week´s opening balance could be what counts, setting the tone for the week ahead after the NFP volatility.
